Second lawsuit filed in US against medical transition of minors

Layla Jane
The second legal action against a U.S. healthcare provider involving a case of childhood medical transition has been launched.

The suit was filed on behalf of Layla Jane (Kayla Lovdahl in the lawsuit), a young woman who was medically transitioned as a child. Layla Jane is seeking justice against the Permanente Medical Group, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and the clinicians who facilitated her transition from age 12 to 17. This process included puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and a double mastectomy performed when she was just 13 years old.

The lawsuit was filed by the Center for American Liberty, alongside Dhillon Law Group and LiMandri & Jonna LLP. They accuse the defendants of medical negligence, leading to "substantial injury" through chemical and surgical sex-change interventions carried out while Layla Jane was a minor. Despite the issuance of a Notice of Intent to Sue on March 15, 2023, the defendants failed to respond within the stipulated 90-day period, precipitating the subsequent lawsuit.

"The law says children aren't mature enough to make serious decisions that could have long lasting consequences like getting a tattoo, driving with friends, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or even voting," said Lovdhal. "So why is it acceptable for 13-year-olds to decide to mutilate their body?"

Harmeet Dhillon, the CEO of the Center for American Liberty, also represents Chloe Cole, another young woman seeking legal action against the same institutions and doctors for facilitating her transition as a minor. Dhillon said she is committed to holding the defendants accountable and intends to "strongly deter Kaiser's factory-line approach that permanently mutilates an unknown number of American children, subjecting them to a lifetime of harm, regret, and medical consequences."

SOTT Focus: Early Prominent Californian Trans Activist Sentenced to Life Imprisonment For Triple Murder


Comment: And the victims were a married lesbian couple and their 19-year-old son. The kicker is that their killer is most likely going to a WOMEN's prison...


dana rvers murder transgender
A prominent trans activist has been sentenced for the 2016 triple homicide of a California lesbian couple and their son. Dana Rivers, born David Chester Warfield, has been handed a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

"It is a horrible thing to sentence someone to die in prison, and I don't take that lightly," Judge Scott Patton said during the court hearing held today. "But this is the most depraved crime I ever handled in the criminal justice system in 33 years. Frankly, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison."

The sentencing comes months after Rivers, 68, had been found guilty of the murders in November of last year. Rivers was denied a motion for a new trial, though his attorney had attempted to argue prosecutorial misconduct. Judge Patton dismissed the issues raised, labeling them "trivial" and "frankly quite ridiculous," while noting that the evidence for Rivers' guilt was "overwhelming."

Comment: When news that Warfield/Rivers was the chief suspect in a triple homicide broke in 2016, The Washington Post reported on his 1999 dismissal from his teaching job:
The cause of her dismissal, apparently, was the revelation that she was transgender and planned to transition. The school district argued that she discussed her transition — a personal matter — with several students after being expressly warned to keep such matters private, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"The board members didn't want a transsexual teacher," Ray Bender, a board member who voted against dismissal proceedings, told the New York Times at the time. "They said they didn't want to create confusion for the students."

The board voted 3-2 to fire Rivers.
Bender voted in Warfield's favor, so he recalls this dismissal as being motivated by straight-up 'unfair bias', but if you review the account provided above by a parent of one of the schoolchildren, their problem with Warfield was that he was telling his pupils specific details about his sex life that are inappropriate for any adult to tell any children, much less a teacher to his students.

In any event, Bender's recollection that the school board members "said they didn't want to create confusion for the students" is probably accurate. What a difference 20 years makes, eh? Nowadays, deviant hypersexuality is mainlined into pupils' brains the moment they enter school. Or anywhere in the public realm, for that matter.

Here is more background on the killer, from a sympathetic New York Times piece in 1999:
Until age 44, David Warfield had been a Navy electronics expert, a political consultant and school board member in Huntington Beach, a baseball coach and a white-water rafting instructor. Ms. Rivers says she is still proud of that resume, but is happier personally now.

Like many other people with gender dysphoria, which the International Center for Gender Education describes as extreme discomfort with one's sex, Ms. Rivers said her condition led her to alcoholism, thoughts of suicide and three failed marriages.

"I've been able to lead a successful life, but personally it's been a real struggle," she said. "Since I started taking hormones last January, I've been happier because I'm getting to be who I am for the first time. I'm going to be a better teacher for it."
"Happier and better..."

How is 'she' feeling now, we wonder, having been in prison since 2016 for committing a triple murder that stunned even an experienced California judge?

Obviously, not all or even most 'people who identify as T' are going to commit murder, much less minor crimes. But HALF of them will attempt suicide at least once. This is a peculiar mental illness, and those diagnosed with it should be treated accordingly - NOT put in charge of classrooms, elevated into the media spotlight by politicians, and encouraged to flaunt their peculiar condition as something 'worthy of aspiring to'.

Here is the speech Warfield/Rivers gave at the 'Millennium March on Washington' on 30 April 2000, the first time a gay rights demonstration included the 'T' in LGBT. The fiery, revolutionary rhetoric will be all-too-familiar to you...

founding fathers declaration of independence
© John TrumbullPresentation of the Declaration of Independence
Commissioned 1817; purchased 1819; placed 1826 in the Capitol Rotunda
Rule 1: No conservative politician is allowed to say anything, however historical or academic, about race. If he touches on the subject, even tangentially, he will be howled down as a bigot.

Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton had evidently forgotten this law of politics when he declared, accurately enough, that the Founding Fathers had viewed slavery as a "necessary evil," and note that, despite some reports, he was describing their views, not his own.

Cotton was, of course, offering a digest of different opinions. John Adams, that good-hearted and fair-minded child of New England Puritanism, was an uncomplicated abolitionist. So was Alexander Hamilton, whose upbringing in the West Indies had brought him face to face with the most horrific aspects of the practice. John Jay and Benjamin Franklin were slave owners who came around to abolitionism and, eventually, manumitted their slaves.

81% of Canadians want Trudeau out of power: poll

Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre
An Abacus Data survey conducted from June 6 to 11, 2023, indicates that 81 percent of Canadians want a change in government and only 20 percent want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to stay in power.

The poll questioned 2,000 adults on a range of voting intentions and found that in a federal election held right now, the Conservative Party of Canada would score 35% of the vote, the Liberals 28 percent and the New Democratic Party (NDP) 21 percent.

The Conservatives have risen 2 percent since the last Abacus reading and the Liberals have fallen by 2 percent.

Although a huge majority of Canadians are seeking a different federal government, 31 percent of those polled say that alternative does not exist among the current competing parties.

Of that 31 percent who want change but don't like the options available, 33 percent would vote Liberal, 22 percent NDP, 19 percent Conservative, and 14 percent Bloc Québécois (BQ).

Of those polled who want change and are satisfied with the political alternatives, 56 percent would vote Conservative, 25 percent for the NDP and 6 percent would support the Liberals.

UK heatwave prompts National Grid to fire up coal plant to meet aircon demand as solar and wind power is unable to keep up

National Grid has broken a 46-day run in which coal has not been used to generate electricity in Britain in order to meet extra demand for air conditioning as the country swelters in hot weather.

The grid's electricity system operator (ESO) asked Uniper, the owner of Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire, to start producing power from the coal-fired plant, prompting criticism from green campaigners.

Temperatures broke 30C for the first time this year over the weekend and meteorologists forecast the chance of Britain experiencing a hot summer was 45% - 2.3 times the typical figure.

The hot weather is expected to push up demand for power, as households and businesses switch on air conditioning units. Air conditioning accounts for about a fifth of the total electricity used in buildings around the world.

RFK Jr. ranks higher in favorability than other major 2024 candidates: poll

RFK Kennedy
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer who is running for the Democratic nomination for president, has a higher favorability rating than many of the other 2024 presidential candidates, according to a new poll.

The poll from The Economist and YouGov released Wednesday showed Kennedy was viewed favorably by 49 percent of respondents, giving him the highest net favorability rating of 19 points. He was viewed unfavorably by 30 percent.

President Biden and former President Trump each had the second-highest percentage of respondents viewing them favorably, with 44 percent saying so. But Biden had a minus-9 net favorability rating, while Trump had a minus-10 net favorability rating.

Comment: If US Presidential elections were honest and true, we'd see Kennedy having a fair shot, able to debate his opponents for the democratic candidacy. But we all know these elections are neither honest nor true. At this point it looks like a long-shot for Kennedy to be anything less than sidelined by every devious means available to the Deep State. Dare to dream, but it seems unlikely the guy has chance.

West Darfur state governor has been killed after publicly blaming the deaths of civilians on Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as the conflict spreads in the African nation.

The Sudanese army blamed the RSF for killing governor Khamis Abakar on Wednesday, depicting the murder as a "brutal act", which was carried out hours after Abakar accused the RSF and allied fighters of "genocide".

No details on his death were available, but the army accused the RSF of "kidnapping and assassinating" the governor.

Just before his death on Wednesday, Abakar said, "Civilians are being killed randomly and in large numbers."

The killing of the governor meant the RSF has added a "new chapter to its record of barbaric crimes that it has been committing against all the Sudanese people," the army said on Facebook.

At least 79 migrants have died and hundreds of others went missing after their overloaded boat capsized on its way to Greece.

The incident took place on Wednesday, marking one of Europe's deadliest shipping disasters in recent years.

The vessel is suspected to have been packed with around 750 migrants, mostly from Egypt, Syria, and Pakistan, who had set out on the perilous journey from Libya. "There were too many people on the outer deck. It was full," said Greek coastguard spokesperson Nikos Alexiou.

The precise site of the disaster has been identified as the Mediterranean waters about 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of the southern Greek coastal town of Pylos.

Home Depot CEO warns 'organized' theft tsunami is "a big problem"

ted decker
Like many other retailers, Home Depot has been forced to lock high-value items behind cages to counter rampant theft as Democrat officials in major cities fail to enforce law and order, which has only emboldened criminals.

Home Depot CEO Ted Decker spoke with CNBC's Becky Quick about retail theft and other inventory loss -- known as "shrink" -- ravaging the home improvement stores nationwide.

Quick pointed out Home Depot was very early in warning about America's retail theft crime wave several years ago. She asked Decker what items were currently being locked up at stores.
